Irish peer and Conservative politician

John Henry de la Poer Beresford, 5th Marquess of Waterford, (21 May 184423 October 1895), styled Earl of Tyrone from 1859 to 1866, was an Irish peer and Conservative politician. He served as Master of the Buckhounds under Lord Salisbury from 1885 to 1886.

Beresford was the eldest son of John Beresford, 4th Marquess of Waterford, by his wife Christiana Leslie, daughter of Colonel Charles Leslie and sister of Sir John Leslie, 1st Baronet, of Castle Leslie, Glaslough, County Monaghan. He was the elder brother of Lord Charles Beresford, Lord William Beresford, and Lord Marcus Beresford. Beresford was an avid sportsman: as with the rest of his family, he was very fond of hunting, racing and shooting. In his youth he rode to hounds with his infamous uncle, the 3rd Marquess of Waterford. He was educated at Eton, after which he was commissioned into the Household cavalry. In 1859, he became known as the Earl of Tyrone after his father succeeded to the marquessate. In 1868 he was made a Knight of the Order of St Patrick. He was appointed Lord Lieutenant of Waterford in 1874, which he remained until his death, and was admitted to the Irish Privy Council in 1879. In 1885 he was sworn of the British Privy Council and appointed Master of the Buckhounds under Lord Salisbury, a post he held until the fall of the Conservative administration in early 1886.

W. S. Gilbert refers to Lord Waterford as "reckless and rollicky" in Colonel Calverley's song "If You Want A Receipt For That Popular Mystery" from the Gilbert and Sullivan opera Patience.
